I made a carrots space needle for the memory of our  lovely friend "Tsu-chan"

for her birthday.

Here was an order of birthday present  for the Korean idol "Doyeon"

I taught that bear and guitar are his favorite.. so I carved.

next!

one day, I had request ." Could you make a sushi cake with Dinosaur?" 

So I made a sample with sushi(used sauce of ell to put the dark color) 

as below but seems not so nice.......

So I changed my mind.  Well, Let's make Dinosaur with vegetable carving!

Made a ｐteranodon with sweet potato.

made a Mosasaurus with carrot.

and I cut the "nori"  into a shape of  scallop and ammonite.

make wasabi into the figure of the leaf.

then decorate them together on the sushi cake.

This sushi cake was order for a birthday so the pteranodon bite the 

birthday crown. :)

Happy Birthday!!!

They visited our restaurant even thought they only stay 2 days in Osaka!
I can't say thank them enough!


They work very well and made a delicious sushi!

Oki's cooking lesson for foreign tourist

There are so many tourist from overseas to Japan.
I heard that  Foreign tourists who came to Osaka between October from January  this year, seems to have been 5.25 million.

So I've been thinking about opening my short team cooking lessons for foreign tourist.
how that sounds?

If you are coming to Osaka. you can learn sushi or vegetable carving from sushi chef!

I think it is good about three hours at a time.
I'm going to settle the several course which I can teach.
You can choose what you would like to learn.

for instance,
Learning Sushi course:

/How to cook the rice
/how to slice the fish
/how to roll the sushi
/how to make the nigiri sushi

Learning Basic Japanese food

/how to treat the fish

/how to cut the fish in portion

/how to make miso soup 

/how to make basic fish dish 

Learning sushi cake for the partys

/how to cook the sushi rice

/how to cook the egg

/how to prepare the fish

/how to decorate the cake 

Learning Vegetable art for your meal

/Cucumber

/Carrot

/Sweet potato 

/fruits

and after the every lesson.. let's enjoy the meal that you made,
and questions and answers, talk about Japan and your country so on.

then Why only for the people from overseas?

Because, there are so many cooking school in Japan for Japanese already.

Also , I wish I could give a good memories and experience for foreign people 

who decided to choose Japan!!

You can take the lessons from 2 persons.

The lesson fee will be around 3500-5000 yen?  per person.

Here are some things that I have to solve.

/My restaurant is far from the station (8 minutes by foot),

/My restaurant is so small so if there are 3 or 4 more people,

 I need to rent the kitchen studio.

If you have any question or request, just let me know.

do not hesitate to write comment or send me a message from my profile.

or you can send me a message from Facebook.

I'll keep informed :)

When I send my sushi cake, I always include 10 candle for them

because I want to Celebrate their time with sushi cake as long as they can.

Hopefully it became their memorial day.

(I made this for my customer's party at my restaurant)

I've made a 9 sushi cake for these 2days.

I took a loot of time to make a sushi cake,
so 9 was pretty tough!

Also, I made a video to introduce about my sushi cake.
My English is still broken, Camera work is obviously amateur
but this was what I wanted to do for a long time :)
